Ride Along

The department extends an open invitation to citizens,
persons connected with city or county government, and the news media to
visit the department or ride with a patrol officer as an observer.

These requests must have Watch Commander approval. A ride-along application must be completed
prior to approving the ride-along. Patrol observation rides are a maximum 4-hour duration. Observers are
limited to one ride per calendar year.

Juvenile observers must be at least 16 years of age
and must have a parent or guardian signature prior to consideration.

We ask that you submit an application at least one week in advance of your
desired observation date. You will be contacted by telephone to confirm whether or not there is a
vacancy for the date and time you have selected.
